The second stage of a Grand Tour, expected to be a sprint finish, might be a day where you expect a team chasing the yellow jersey to sit back and let the sprint teams dictate the race, but that's certainly not what FDJ United-Suez did at the Tour de France Femmes on Sunday.
After the team underlined before the race how yellow was the only goal, not stage wins or anything else, it was a slight surprise to see Célia Gery on the attack in the final 50km of stage 2 to Geneva, spending energy on an attack that perhaps seemed unlikely to survive to the finish.
